[solved] emacs won't start

I'm interested in learning some lisp and it seems like emacs+slime is the way to go (even though I perfer vim).
Seems like there is something weird with my configuration somewhere, because it won't run.

$>emacs
emacs: Invalid visual specification `DirectColor'
$>

I'm not entirely sure what to change, I tried adding "Emacs.visualClass: TrueColor" to /etc/X11/app-defaults/Emacs but it doesn't seem to do anything.

Edit: meh. Forgot that you have to reload the .Xdefaults
